"The most sophisticated purveyor of revivals in the major
Off-Broadway leagues.” - The New York Times

MEASURE FOR MEASURE
Directed by Arin Arbus

Addressing one of his most difficult and enlightening works, Arbus stages Shakespeare’s dark comedy MEASURE FOR MEASURE following an acclaimed off-Broadway run in Spring 2010. Corrupt power confronts ruthless justice, the letter of the law obscures the quality of mercy, and the noblest of spirits must reflect on the basest of appetites in this sly, bawdy, provocative and extraordinarily modern play. TFANA brings their unique brand of accessibility, simplicity, and extraordinary performances to this masterpiece for multi-generational audiences to savor.

OTHELLO
Directed by Arin Arbus
Starring John Douglas Thompson
(Lucille Lortel Award for “Outstanding Lead Actor” and OBIE Award for “Performance”)

After a two-month-long sold out sojourn off-Broadway last season, the US’ leading producers of Shakespeare present their critically praised staging of his most popular play in their second command national and international tour. The New York Times identified emerging director Arin Arbus (recipient of the 2008 Princess Grace Award) as “a star in the making.” In this production, Arbus privileged the relationship of Othello and Desdemona and spoke purely and without encumbrance to the nature of human relationships.
